Contemporary China (Contemporary States And Societies, 1)

Providing a comprehensive introduction to the politics, economy, culture and society of modern China, the third edition of this textbook situates all of these themes in the context of China's history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Fully up to date, this accessible text examines the key developments that are taking place in China and that are shaping its place in the world today, from its ever-evolving relations with the United States and Britain, to the use of the internet to crack down on dissident and the establishment of 'Xi Jinping thought' at the 19th Party Congress. Authored by a highly-regarded expert on the topic, this is the essential guide to a country that is no longer just emerging but one which has, in many respects, already emerged as one of the leading powers of the twenty-first century. The book is an ideal introductory text for undergraduate and postgraduate courses on China Studies and Contemporary China. It can also be used on courses focussing more specifically on Chinese Politics, Chinese History and Chinese Society.
